NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2017
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
Nature of the Business
Almost Never Films Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 as Smack Sportswear (“Smack”), which originally manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. The Company is now an independent film company focused on film production and production related services in connection with genre specific motion pictures with production costs in the $5.0 million to $50.0 million range.
Share Exchange and Recapitalization
On January 15, 2016, Smack entered into a share exchange agreement with Almost Never Films Inc., a private company incorporated in Indiana on July 8, 2015, and its two shareholders, Danny Chan and Derek Williams.
Pursuant to the agreement, Smack issued 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams in exchange for all 100,000,000 shares of issued and outstanding common stock of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana). As a result of the share exchange, Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) became Smack’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams acquired a controlling interest in the Company.
The share exchange was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition," and resulted in a recapitalization. Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were $6,566 and $598,869, respectively. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements prior to the share exchange will be those of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and the combined financial statements after completion of the share exchange include the assets and liabilities of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), historical operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) from the closing date of the share exchange. As a result of the issuance of the shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the share exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred as of the date of consummation of the share exchange. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization. The Company has not yet generated any revenue since inception.
On February 29, 2016, the stockholders of Smack voted to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to (i) increase the authorized capital of the Company to 200,000,00 shares of common stock and (ii) to change the name of the Company to “Almost Never Films Inc.” which took effect on March 2, 2016.
The new symbol of the Company is HLWD.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $86,931 and cash used in operating activities was $90,290. As of March 31, 2017, the Company is delinquent in payments of $271,398 for payroll and sales taxes and of $66,613 of a note payable. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $250,837 and a shareholders’ deficit of $912,935. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
7 |
Table of Contents |
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion and an identification of new business opportunities. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case of equity financing.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2017.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2016, which were included in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Team Sports Superstore (Inactive) and Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used in valuing the fair value of common stock issued for services, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
8 |
Table of Contents |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.
In addition to defining fair value, the standard expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 – inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
As of March 31, 2017, the balances reported for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. Notes payable are recorded at agreed values. Debt balances are stated at historical amounts less principal payments, which approximate fair market value. The Company believes interest rates in its debt agreements are commensurate with lender risk profiles for similar companies.
Stock Subscription Receivable
The stock subscription receivable reflects the sales of common stock in March 2016 for which the Company had not received payment. As of March 31, 2017, the stock subscription receivable has been nullified based on a mutual agreement between the Company and the party involved in the subscription.
Loss per Share Calculations
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the period ended March 31, 2017, as there are no potential shares outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3 – NOTE PAYABLE
In August 2015, Smack entered into an unsecured promissory note agreement with an individual. The agreement allowed for Smack to borrow up to $66,613 at an interest rate of 10 percent per year. This $66,613 note was assumed by the Company during the recapitalization. The outstanding principal balance under the agreement at March 31, 2017 was $66,613. During the nine months and three months periods ended March 31, 2017, the Company incurred $5,001 and $1,643 of interest expense relating to the unsecured promissory note. The outstanding principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest was due by August 2016 and is currently delinquent.
NOTE 4 – SHARE CAPITAL
Common Stock
On November 22, 2016, the Company issued 12,500,000 common shares at $0.02 per share, for total proceeds of $250,000. A total of $135,000 was received prior to June 30, 2016 and the shares were issued on November 22, 2016. The remaining $115,000 was received on November 22, 2016, and the 5,750,000 shares were issued on November 22, 2016.
There were 190,207,623 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2017.
On March 16, 2017, the Company has approved a 1 for 40 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock which has not been completed as of March 31, 2017. After effective, the common stock accounts and all share related balances will be applied retroactively for all periods presented.
NOTE 5 – INCOME TAX
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, "Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Income Tax laws of United States of America, net operating loss carry forwards of $912,935 which expire commencing in fiscal 2035, for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. When a change in ownership occurs, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. The Company's officers have provided office services without charge. There is no obligation for the officer to continue this arrangement. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly are not reflected herein.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Business Development
SMACK Sportswear (“SMACK or the Company”) was originally incorporated in Nevada in October 2007. Through June 30, 2016, we were a manufacturer and seller of performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. As of July 31, 2015, we completed the disposition of certain assets of the Company to William Sigler, a former director of the Company; in connection with said transactions Mr. Sigler resigned and agreed to sell all his shares of common stock in the Company. As a result of the sale of certain inventory from the Company to Mr. Sigler, the Company was considered a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
On January 15, 2016, pursuant to the share exchange agreement, among Almost Never Films Inc. f/k/a Smack Sportswear (the “Company”, “we,” “our” or “us”), Almost Never Films Inc. (“ANF”), an Indiana corporation, and the two shareholders of ANF (the “ANF Shareholders”), we issued to the ANF Shareholders, 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.001 per share in exchange for all 100,000,000 shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of ANF (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, ANF became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and our business has become the business of ANF, effective January 15, 2016.
The share exchange was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition," and resulted in a recapitalization. Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were $6,566 and $598,869, respectively. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements prior to the share exchange will be those of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and the combined financial statements after completion of the share exchange include the assets and liabilities of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), historical operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) from the closing date of the share exchange. As a result of the issuance of the shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the share exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred as of the date of consummation of the share exchange. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization. The Company has not yet generated any revenue since the reverse acquisition.
On February 29, 2016, the stockholders of Smack voted to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to (i) increase the authorized capital of the Company to 200,000,00 shares of common stock and (ii) to change the name of the Company to “Almost Never Films Inc.” which took effect on March 2, 2016.
The Company has 5,000,000 authorized preferred shares with no par value.
Smack issued 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams in exchange for all 100,000,000 shares of issued and outstanding common stock of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), with a value of $10,000.
On March 4, 2016, all 1,000,000 preferred shares were converted into 100,000,000 common shares.
There were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2017.
On November 16, 2016, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Konwiser Brothers Media. At this point, the Company ceased being a “shell company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On March 16, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 1:40 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and an adjustment in the authorized common stock of the Company to 25,000,000 (the “Authorized Adjustment”). The Majority Stockholders approved the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Adjustment by written consent in lieu of a meeting on March 16, 2017. The Authorized Adjustment and the Reverse Stock Split will become effective upon approval by FINRA, which we expect to occur shortly.
Criteria
The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 as Smack Sportswear (“Smack”), which originally manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. The Company is now an independent film company focused on film production and production related services in connection with genre specific motion pictures with production costs in the $5.0 million to $50.0 million range.
History
As described above, we were incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 under the name SMACK Sportswear under which we manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. As a result of the sale of certain inventory from the Company to Mr. Sigler in July 2015, the Company became a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). As a result of the Share Exchange, we acquired the proposed business of Almost Never.
Almost Never, our wholly-owned subsidiary upon the closing of Share Exchange, was incorporated in the State of Indiana on July 8, 2015. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “Smack Sportswear” to “Almost Never Films Inc.” to more accurately reflect its new business. We also request changed the Company’s OTCQB trading symbol to "HLWD"
We currently have authorized 205,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 5,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock containing such rights, privileges and designations as our Board of directors may, from time to time, determine. As of the date of this Report, an aggregate of 190,207,623shares of our Common Stock and no shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.
After the Share Exchange, our principal executive office is now located at 13636 Ventura Blvd #475, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423.
Our Business
We are an independent film company focused on film production and production related services in connection with genre specific motion pictures with production costs in the $5.0 million to $50.0 million range.
Our business is to facilitate relationships (and as such, provide production related services) between creative talent (including writers, actors and directors) and companies who produce, finance and distribute motion pictures. We intend to acquire or license rights to materials upon which we believe motion pictures can be based (screenplays, books, short stories etcetera, which are referred to within the entertainment industry as the “underlying property”). We may further develop an underlying property by contracting for additional writing services and/or by bringing in new writers to perform “polishes” or “rewrites” on a particular underlying property.
If we are satisfied with the creative state of the underlying property, we then intend to make offers to directors and/or actors, to perform services in connection with a particular motion picture based on that underlying property. These offers are very often contingent and subject to the satisfaction of certain production elements, such as financier approval of the screenplay and the financier’s selection of a start date for principal photography.

Table of Contents |
If a director or actors accepts one of our offers, the director or actors are said to be “attached” to the motion picture project. Armed with the underlying property and the attached creative element(s) (these elements are often called the “package” in Hollywood), we may then approach third party financiers seeking financing as well as distribution for the potential motion picture. Another approach that we may take is to contact the financiers first, seeking first to produce the film, and then with a finished (or nearly finished) motion picture product, obtain distribution for the picture.
We entered into our first two collaboration agreements to produce the films “Field Trip” and “Love is not Easy” during the quarter ended December 31, 2016.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate our estimates and judgments, our commitments to strategic alliance partners and the timing of the achievement of collaboration milestones. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. All estimates, whether or not deemed critical, affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are also based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known, even for estimates and judgments that are not deemed critical.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management's efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016

Net Loss
The Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $27,319. The Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $790,592.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016
During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had no revenue and incurred $23,132 on general and administrative expenses and $58,798 on professional fees. The Company’s professional fees were primarily for ongoing regulatory requirements and the negotiation of the two collaborations entered into by the Company. During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had no revenue and incurred $11,550 on general and administrative expenses and $33,675 on professional fees. The Company’s professional fees were primarily for ongoing regulatory requirements.
Other Expense
During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company incurred interest expenses of $5,001, relating to an unsecured promissory note payable. During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred interest expenses of $4,990, relating to promissory notes payable, and a loss on debt settlement of $745,800.
Net Loss
The Company’s net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was $86,931. The Company’s net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was $796,015. The decrease in the net loss was due primarily to a loss on debt settlement of $745,800 incurred in the nine months ended March 31, 2016.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
As of March 31, 2017, we had a cash balance of $109,677. As of June 30, 2016, we had a cash balance of $84,967. We do not have sufficient funds to operate for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person or entity to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since the Company has no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, its inability to raise funds for the above purposes will have a severe negative impact on its ability to remain a viable company.
Financing Activities
During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company received $115,000 for the issuance of common stock, which were then registered in a registration statement on Form S-1, that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 9, 2016. For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company received $85,000 from common share issuance and $10,000 from preferred share issuance.

Going Concern Consideration
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $86,931 and cash used in operating activities was $90,290. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion and an identification of new business opportunities. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case of equity financing.
We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures during the next twelve months. Although our proceeds from the issuance of debt and our offering of shares of common stock is currently sufficient to fund our operating expenses, we anticipate we will need to raise additional funds in the future so that we can expand our operations. Therefore, our future operations are dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may have to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, we did not have any "off-balance sheet arrangements" (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K).
Recent accounting pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company's management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the Company's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2017 due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review.
Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act have been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management intends to develop procedures to address the current deficiencies to the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company’s property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
